Redirect php file

I'm developing a simple chat room box. The main chat room page is
composed of three iframes, one for displaying messages posted, one for
displaying usernames registered online, and the other for typing in
messages. For each iframe there is a php file to handle it. I want to
know once the message is typed in, how to make the message iframe to
refresh and display the newest message. In other word, from one php
file redirected to another php file. I tried include .php, but it
fails because it refresh the wrong iframe ( the iframe for input
messages). Thanks.

Echo something like this at the beginning of your page:

<script>
top.frames['name_of_the_frame_you_want_to_refresh'].location.reload();
</script>

Can you explain to more in detail? The script should be javascript, right?
It should be added to the page that need refresh, right? top.frames is what?
Thanks.

No, you output it in the frame where the inputing occurs. Essentially, the
input frame is telling the message frame to refresh.

And yes, it's Javascript. Stick 'language="javascript"' into the script tag
if you feel like.

And if you want it to be the best practice, use type="text/javascript"
as the language attribute has been deprecated.
